" ... Unfortunately, the turbine is plastic and can't handle the stress of being pressed. ... "
" ... The 6 brushes are driven by a 1/4 inch plastic 3 inches long and breaks the first time it is used, I had a 27 year old Hoover that was built when they cared about Quality, ... "
" ... We discovered that these brushes were operated by a thin plastic drive shaft, which was now broken. ... The entire vacuum is constructed of plastic, of course, but a critical drive mechanism should have been metal, one would think, but no, Hoover made it of a crappy 1/4" piece of tubular plastic, which has sheared and is not repairable. ... Have the same issue again, with the same junky plastic shaft? ... "
" ... a small plastic part that is put under a lot of stress. ... I actually ordered two for the next time it should break. ... "

" ... Does a nice job on carpets. ... "
" ... I like the ease of cleaning but as far as the power of the unit and the fact that the hose has suction all the while the power of the cleaning head looses suction .My old hoover carpet machine had better suction and a separate insert for the upholstery attachment I am sending this one back .Also as soon as I opened it to clean the gasket came off I don't like the quality of this one ... "
" ... The suction is the best on any cleaner I’ve ever used. ... "
" ... The hand cleaner attachment is extremely useful for spot cleaning, may actually do better than the actual vacuum at cleaning. ... "
" ... Yeah it's not a Dyson but it's a pretty good Hoover. ... the front suction part unclips and comes off for easier cleaning ... "
" ... I love my new Hoover carpet cleaner. ... "
" ... The carpet is flat commercial type carpet. ... and vacuum thoroughly before vacuuming. ... "
" ... Replaced another Hoover carpet cleaner with lots of attachments for it. ... "

This is so minor, but I wish that they had positioned the wash / rinse switch in a more user-friendly location. ... It also helps to ensure that the carpet is “rinsed” well after you wash it. ... "
